WorkFirst

The WorkFirst Team at Edmonds Community College believes in the Washington state goal for welfare recipients and low-income working parents: "A job, a better job, a better life."

One of the best ways to reach this goal is through free education and training. At Edmonds Community College TANF* recipients and low-income parents can receive the skills they need to make “a better life.”

Qualified low-income parents receive assistance in reaching career goals through short-term vocational training programs. Students learn technical skills, career management techniques and receive job search assistance plus certificates of completion. Customized skills training lasts up to 22 weeks and prepares students for entry-level jobs  in health care occupations, medical office technology, office skills technology, business management skills, construction industry, computers, electronics and more!

WorkFirst financial aid pays for tuition, books and fees for classes, including those offered at the college’s Business and Training Center. Students must be receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or be an income-eligible, working parent. Call our WorkFirst phone number 425.640.1686 to see if your qualify. We are located in the Workforce Development Center, located in the Maltby Building. We offer a variety of training and education programs, including customized job skills training programs.
